Liverpool v Manchester City: Pep Guardiola’s side’s struggles perfectly explained by this statistic

Pep Guardiola’s side failed to score a goal, which seems shocking given their brilliant attack; they failed to control the game despite dominating possession, which seems shocking seeing as their entire game plan is built around overawing the opposition with the ball.

Even the fact City went behind to a 3-0 score line was shocking, considering it is the first time it has happened since they played Everton at Goodison Park all the way back in January 2017.

But the most shocking statistic of all is the fact City failed to record a single shot on target against Liverpool, with the only work Loris Karius in the Reds’ goal having to do coming in the form of catching hopeful deliveries into the area.
